Overview

• Coach Patrick Roy said Lee will rehab by skating on his own with an estimated one-to-two week timeline.
• Emil Heineman filled Lee’s spot on Mathew Barzal’s left wing at practice, while the rest of the top lines largely stayed intact.
• Maxim Tsyplakov is day-to-day for maintenance and skated independently, with his preseason debut still pending.
• Roy indicated Semyon Varlamov is not close to rejoining full practices, making it increasingly likely David Rittich begins the season as Ilya Sorokin’s backup.
• The Islanders also listed Anthony Duclair and Daylan Kuefler as day-to-day with upper-body injuries as the preseason continues toward the Oct. 9 opener in Pittsburgh.
